Our first BIG snow!

We had our first big snow at the end of October.  The girls had a great time helping Jon and I with shoveling and sledding with the neighbor kids. 

Great helpers, notice the neighbors across the street!

They hung out and watched us shovel.  He is a little hard to see in this picture but a nice size Bull in the bunch.

Halloween 2011

What a great Halloween, the weather was fantastic, the costumes were great and of course the candy was more than we could imagine!  The girls were fairies, Addie was a Lilac Flower Fairy and Quinn was a Strawberry Fairy.  They loved their wings and dresses.  Once again we spent Halloween with some friends.  Trenton was Toothless from How to Train your Dragon...great costume!  

Chores, Pumpkin Patch and Trick-or-Treating!

We spent a weekend in Grand Junction in October to celebrate Boppa's Birthday.  Everyone pitched in to finish up some chores before winter, we visited the pumpkin patch and had a little trick-or-treating before dinner.  It was a great day and everyone had a great time.

Digging up the last of the potatoes!  Nice supervision Jerry...

Quinn got a lift from Aunt Nanny to the pumpkin patch, we loved where she chose to hang on!

The kids had a great time on the bouncy pumpkin

 

Uncle Keenan is always there to lend a hand!

 

I loved this picture, the sun was in the girls eyes but Boden's face is priceless!  Must help that he has a hat on but it really showed the difference between boys and girls!

 

October 8th - SNOW!!!!

We woke up to our first snow of the season this morning, not sure if we are ready for it but here it is.  Hard to believe it is only October 8th and we have snow.  It is still snowing so we will be spending the day inside!

A Night at the Circus!

We spent Wednesday evening at the circus.  Our seats were in the front row and we were probably no more than 25 feet from the center ring.  With our seats we got to sepnd 15 minutes sitting in the center ring watching the clowns and tight-rope walkers!  All in all a very cool night for all of us.

S'mores on a stick, yum!

12 tigers, very cool

A total of 8 elephants
